SPECIAL AND PERSONAL
Mr.. preston Clarke's Hamlet.


Mir. Clarke's performance OF Hamlet al
the matinee yesterday was bold attempt
under great disadvantages.
Il was a cOnventionality and an imita-
ton of Mr. Booth. especially in the yes.
lures and mannerisms But twas an ex-
ceeGingly intelligent immitation-gr
full, earnest, and artistic The curious
part Of the performance was that the
young actor seemed 10 lose his cOnyen-
tionaliy and mechanical style of express
sion when he got into the imprisoned
scenes Of the play.
With the send-oN that Mr. Hamilton s
magnificent acting Of the Ghost gave
the scene, Nh Clarke gave promise of a
real success above the reach of a novice,
but what with the GOODNESS of matinee
audience and the bad acting of some of
the cast6 he was somewhat wet-blank-
eied.
The public must understand that this
was first attempt, aud making all al
lOwances we decidedly think that Mr.
Clarke can act Hamlet beautifully as
soon as he gets the nerve and courage TO
follow his own intelligence and emotion
in all the scenes as he does now in some
of them.
Mr Theodore Hamilton delivered the
speech of the Ghost with deep resonant
voice. and with the weird and superna-
tural effect that so few actors ever succeed
in giving TO the lines. The majesty of a
king, and the exquisite expression given
to the enunciatiOn of every passage made
an absolutely perfect Improvisation 10
which only free set OF the scene was
wanting.

TWO CASES.

The case Of the Chicago Anarchists
will be brought before the United States
Supreme Court on the ground that a
State law regulating The choosing Of ju-
rOrs is unconstitutional.
At the same time the Virginia ha5eas
corpus case comes up on the same plea
When we consider the drift of opinion
for year past as to the case Of the Anar-
chists, and see now that in contradiction
of the popular idea the case can be got
ten before the Supreme Court, we are
drawn to the downright question Of the
supreme authority of the Federal judi
cisry when there is any question of a
States violation Of "the supreme law Of
the land"
It's useless to cavil about the sacred
rights Of States and the violation of our
local sovereignty
The local sovereignty is put forward
to violate fundamental justice.and claims
for itself the high privileges that politi-
clans can use for their own purposes, ana
then we complain because the citizens
whom the State deprives of their just
rights go to seek protection from the
Federal Government.
The pretended violation Of the sover-
eighty of the State is the inevitable re-
suit of the States violation of the soyer-
eighty Of the individual who is entitled
10 act as free man so long as he does
not violate the rights Of others. This is
the fundamental principle Of our system
and all this trouble is the natural product
Of policy that calls for constitutional
rights while it is ilagrantly violating the
Constitution.
The general verdict Of the country is
that the Chicago Anarchists deserve
hanging for a most atroc Gus crime, pre-
meditated, and in all its features a dia-
bolical outrage on society. Besides this,
the culDrils are demanded as an example
10 warn that dangerous class Of organ
lied assassns who are trying to illustrate
diseased European ideas in America.
But if these men have been condemned
under a local law that violates strict, in
herent justice, LET them be heard before
the highest court and the law settled,
upon which other lives and other rights
rest besides those Of the Anarchists
In the Virginia case the principle APP
plies. while the weight of sentiment is
the other way.
The majority of the people of our State
without sitting the matter, think that
tie State ought TO win But others believe
that the Federal Government will destroy
unconstitutional legislation.
five keep our eyes on the necessity
for acknowledging the fundamental prin-
siples and the highest exponent Of them,
we will conclude that in the long run we
are better off with a well understood in
terpretation Of law, and well understood
necessity for obeyng it
In the Anarchists case the Supreme
Court will doubtless not interfere.
In the Virginia case the court will be
quite certain to interfere.
The point is that the State laws under
our system have to be brought before the
Supreme Court whenever there is doubt
Of their constitutionality.

An alarm was sent in to which the de-
